Sew a sustainable capsule wardrobe that is tailored to you - and with it, help break the cycle of throw-away fashion.
The fashion industry is the second biggest environmental polluter on the planet. Every year, over 350,000 tonnes of clothing is sent to landfill in the UK - just under 14 million tonnes in the US - much of it owing to fast fashion. Furthermore, it's estimated that many of us wear only 20% of our wardrobe regularly, with the other 80% languishing in our wardrobes unworn, or worse - contributing to those ever-growing landfill figures.
We urgently need to find alternative, more sustainable approaches that allow us to have the stylish wardrobes we crave without hurting our planet. The techniques you learn in The Re:Fashion Wardrobe is one of those alternatives.
